At the beginning of the clip, which was recorded by a pet camera, the young furry friend is sitting at her dog gate.

When she hears the front door slam shut, she immediately jumps up and looks expectantly in the direction of the hallway.

Kiwi's gestures quickly show that she sees her owner coming towards her – her tail is wagging like crazy, and she can hardly contain herself.

Finally, her owner opens the cage door and sits down on the floor, whereupon the Golden Retriever happily jumps onto his lap, and they share an adorable cuddle.

The on-screen text says, "Nothing beats this after work."

And many TikTok users agree, as the work has now racked up over 4.7 million clicks and more than 600,000 likes.

In an interview with Newsweek, dog owner Marshall even went one better this week.

"This is how she reacts to seeing us even if it's only been 10 minutes," the dog's owner, Marshall, said in an interview with Newsweek, adding that he's not actually Kiwi's number one.

"My favorite thing about her reacting to me this way is that she makes me feel like I'm the favorite, when in reality she adores my girlfriend," he admitted.

"I just thought it was a cute moment to share on her TikTok page," Marshall said, and it seems everyone agrees!
